So I just picked up this Supermicro A1SRi-2758F from eBay, with the intention to build a pfsense box out of it. I got the board, and it came with a single stick of Crucial 4GB DDR3-1600 ECC SODIMM memory. the board is labelled v1.00. It was claimed to have been pulled from a "working system".
I looked through the manual, noted that it's either or on the 24-pin or 4-pin, not both. plugged it in, and powered up, but no POST. also no beeps. also no VGA output whatsoever. even without memory installed, still no beeps. I would think with no mem, it would at least beep. but the BMC/IPMI light was flashing. also the system seemed to power cycle roughly every 5 mins if i left it on. I tried the stick in every slot, same results.
I cleared the CMOS, and on a whim, I checked my attached devices on my router to see if it popped up when connected to IPMI. I found it and was able to log into the IPMI page. things seemed to basically look ok there, I was even able to update the IPMI and BIOS to the latest versions. however, the board still will not boot and the symptoms remain the same.
Are these symptoms the same as the C2000 bug? should I return the board to the ebay seller or see if SM will fix it?
